Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery for ovarian mature teratomas in children and adolescents: a retrospective cohort study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Ovarian mature teratoma (OMT) is a common benign gynecological tumor, with surgical resection being the primary treatment. Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) has been widely used in various surgical procedures due to its advantages of minimal invasiveness and faster recovery. However, there is limited research on LESS for OMT in adolescents. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LESS in children and adolescents aged 18 years or younger. Methods: Patients who underwent LESS cystectomy or laparotomic cystectomy in West China Second Hospital, Sichuan University, from 01/01/2019 to 31/12/2023, were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study. They were divided into LESS group and open surgery group based on the surgical approaches. We collected surgical conditions, postoperative conditions and complications to evaluate the safety and efficacy. Patients were followed up one month and one year after surgery by phone-call and recurrence was recorded. A Results: We included 169 pediatric and adolescent girls (151 LESS cases and 18 open cases) in this study. The average age, body mass index, and menstrual history were not statistically different (P=0.84, 0.93, 0.93, retrospectively). Compared with open group, the tumors in LESS group were smaller and the difference was statistically significant (6.5±0.2 Conclusions: LESS is a safe and effective method for female children and adolescents with OMT. A tumor diameter <15 cm may serve as one of the factors favoring LESS, but the final surgical approach should be determined through comprehensive consideration of tumor characteristics, the patient's general condition, and fertility requirements.
